Uh... TBH what is the PEAK of the subwoofer?

You really shouldnt blow it with that kind of power.

I mean I can run 1 8" 500 RMS sub @ 6500W and it handles it...
Then again sundown is quality

Yeah TBH your 400 RMS to a 350 RMS sub isnt going to hurt it.
If you notice clipping or other issues... Turn it down :)

My subs sound better slightly overpowered. Many do.
